Admissions
Torah Temimah Talmudical Seminary admits 56% of applicants and is genuinely selective — roughly two in five applicants are turned away. The applicant pool is small at 27, which makes year-over-year comparisons unreliable. 60% of admitted students actually enroll, which is a high yield by national standards.

Academics
Only 0% finish within six years, so roughly nine in ten students leave without the credential. First-year retention of 100% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. That gap between coming back and finishing is where this school loses people — after the first year, not during it. With 100% transferring out, this functions substantially as a stepping stone. The 27:1 student-faculty ratio is high, so large classes and limited faculty contact should be the expectation.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 75 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $25,556 annually once grants are applied. Net price varies modestly by income — $19,858 at $0–30k against $25,712 at $48–75k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid is widespread — 85% of students receive it, averaging $9,003.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.

| $0–30k | $19,858 |
| $30–48k | $22,000 |
| $48–75k | $25,712 |
